Elucidating Property Justification via Free Will:Kant's Conceptual Framework in Property Theory and Its Significance in Political Philosophy
Grotius and Locke laid the groundwork for modern ownership theories with their contractual-occupancy and labor models,respectively.Kant,once a follower of Locke,shifted gears in his mature works,embracing an ownership theory reminiscent of Grotius'contractual-occupancy model.However,beneath the surface similarities lies Kant's deliberate departure,challenging innate ideas-based and empirical-based ownership theories.Kant aims to reconstruct ownership on the basis of free will,purifying it from the entanglement of contingent factors.In this view,the state isn't just a guardian of citizen welfare or a necessary evil for securing labor fruits;it must be inherently tied to the structural framework of ownership rights.This state form emphasizes civic unity and underscores the significance of public opinion in shaping this unity.Kant's reconstruction provides a philosophical basis for fresh perspectives on civic freedom and community.
